Persistent pain in older adults is difficult to assess and therefore address consistently. The experience of pain is individual, and therefore a comprehensive way to assess pain is required. Roy’s adaptation model offers a systematic way of evaluating pain in the older adult. In this column, the author shares some statistics about persistent pain and a case study using Roy’s model as a system for assessment.

Abstract Globally observed trends in aging indicate that older adults constitute a growing share of the population and an increasing demographic in the modern technologies marketplace. Therefore, it has become important to address the issue of participation of older adults in the process of developing solutions suitable for their group. In this study, we approached this topic by organizing a hackathon involving teams of young programmers and older adults participants. Below we describe a case study of that hackathon, in which our objective was to motivate older adults to participate in software engineering processes. Based on our results from an array of qualitative methods, we propose a set of good practices that may lead to improved older adult participation in similar events and an improved process of developing apps that target older adults.

Abstrak. Bunuh diri merupakan respon maladaptif dari rentang respon protektif diri. Bunuh diri terjadi sebagai akibat dari stress dan depresi yang disebabkan faktor psikososial yaitu kepribadian, psikodinamika, kegagalan yang berulang, faktor kognitif, dukungan sosial, pengalaman masa lalu, dan stressor lingkungan. Model adaptasi Roy memandang manusia sebagai makhluk biopsikososial dan memiliki permasalahan yang menuntut manusia beradaptasi dengan masalah tersebut. Tujuan penulisan artikel ini adalah memperoleh penjelasan empiris dan teoris terhadap faktor psikososial kaitannya dengan perilaku resiko bunuh diri. Studi kasus ini menggunakan metode deskriptif pada kasus kelolaan di rumah sakit jiwa. Pengelolaan stress yang adapatif merupakan upaya preventif terhadap perilaku resiko bunuh diri. Perilaku bunuh diri tidak akan terjadi apabila individu dapat menggunakan mekanisme koping adaptif yang didukung oleh sosial support, hubungan interpersonal, dan kemampuan memilih strategi koping sebagai faktor protektor. Perawat dalam mengelola klien dengan riwayat bunuh diri harus melibatkan keluarga dan masyarakat untuk mengoptimalkan penggunaan faktor protektor tersebut.  Kata kunci: Adaptasi Roy, Depresi, Perilaku Bunih Diri, Psikososial, Stress  Behavior Analysis of Suicide Experiment with Roy's Adaptation Model Approach: Case study Abstract. Suicide is a maladaptive response of a range of self-protective responses. Suicide occurs as a result of stress and depression caused by psychosocial factors such as personality, psychodynamics, repetitive failure, cognitive factors, social support, past experiences, and environmental stressors. Roy's adaptation model regards the humans as biopsychosocial beings and has problems that demand the humans to adapt the problem. The purpose of this article is to obtain the empirical and theoretical explanations of psychosocial factors related to suicidal risk behavior. This case study uses descriptive methods in cases of management in a mental hospital. Adapatif stress management is a preventive effort against suicidal risk behavior. Suicidal behavior will not occur if individuals can use adaptive coping mechanisms supported by social support, interpersonal relationships, and ability to choose coping strategies as a protector factor. Nurses in managing clients with a history of suicide should involve families and communities to optimize the use of these protector factors.  Keywords  : Roy's adaptation, Suicide Risk, Depression, Stress, Psychosocial

Abstract The aim of OA-INVOLVE is to provide recommendations to support older adult engagement in research that leads to the successful development of technologies for and with older adults. To support this aim we conducted a longitudinal case study project in which we interviewed eight AGE-WELL research teams conducting technology projects to explore the benefits, challenges, and solutions for meaningful engagement. Members of the OA-INVOLVE Older Adult Research Partner Group (OARPG) were involved in all aspects of the project. Findings from the case studies provided important insights regarding structural, contextual, and individual factors that enable and constrain active involvement of older adults. Many projects reported developing unique “workarounds” in order to move beyond involving older adults as participants to involving them as advisors and decision makers. Researchers identified that they often lack the skills, training and resources to engage older adults in a meaningful way and could benefit from capacity building.

Older Adult Learners

Lifelong learning is a key element of the conceptual framework of active aging. To understand how older adults experience active aging through participation in lifelong learning, the authors conducted a qualitative case study. The research participants were older adult learners attending evening schools aiming to pass the equivalency examination. Data were collected primarily using semi-structured interviews with five older adult learners, and additional data were collected from relevant documents. Data analysis and thematic discussion provided insights into how older adults experience active aging by participating in lifelong learning. Data analysis identified themes of overcoming limited education, taking the equivalency examination, and evolving goals. Thematic discussion revealed that older adults began learning to meet deficiency needs; however, they developed their goals after attending evening schools and passing the equivalency examination. In addition, lifelong learning is an indispensable element of active aging not only because learning is good for older adults’ wellbeing, as reported in the literature, but also because older adults become more active in the systemic change of their environment and in the setting goals for their lives.

Community Dwelling Older Adults

Key points• Chronic persistent pain affects at least 50% of community-dwelling older adults.• Physiological changes that occur as a result of the ageing process need to be considered when dealing with pain in the older adult.• Assessment of pain can be complicated when the older adult is unable to articulate their pain; for example, in the presence of cognitive impairment.• Much of the research into pain management has been carried out among the younger population and simply translated across.

Abstract. This study explores the relative value of both subjectively reported cognitive speed and gait speed in association with objectively derived cognitive speed. It also explores how these factors are affected by psychological and physical well-being. A group of 90 cognitively healthy older adults ( M = 73.38, SD = 8.06 years, range = 60–89 years) were tested in a three-task cognitive battery to determine objective cognitive speed as well as measures of gait speed, well-being, and subjective cognitive speed. Analyses indicated that gait speed was associated with objective cognitive speed to a greater degree than was subjective report, the latter being more closely related to well-being than to objective cognitive speed. These results were largely invariant across the 30-year age range of our older adult sample.
